Mr. Speaker, this is a crisis of international sales, of shipbuilding. We cannot get into the American market and we cannot do it alone in Canada. There are no markets in Canada that will sustain our shipbuilding industry. The American market is protected because that other party over there, in that direction generally, failed to get it into the free trade agreement.
It is not a question of going hat in hand. We are now at a major disadvantage and people are suffering. We are losing one of our heritage industries because the Conservative Party or the Conservative government never took the proper steps when it arranged the free trade deal with the Americans.
